Transmission of Reference Signals from a Terminal Device

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein a pair of physical antenna ports that is included in said at least two physical antenna ports and that has the lowest average received signal power is mapped to at least one spatial layer having all zero-valued coefficients in the at least one precoder.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein at least one row but less than all rows in the at least one precoder consists of all zero-valued coefficients.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the uplink data is transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein each of the at least two physical antenna ports is fed by its own power amplifier.

12. The method according to claim 1, wherein each of the at least two physical antenna ports is operatively connected to only a single antenna element or an array of at least two antenna elements.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the antenna element or the array of at least two antenna elements of at least two of the physical antenna ports are arranged at the terminal device to point in at least two mutually different pointing directions.

14. The method according to claim 1, wherein each uplink reference signal defines a sounding reference signal (SRS) port.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the uplink reference signal is transmitted over 5G New Radio (NR) air interface.
